5.0 out of 5 stars Well, *I* like fun music, and this exceeds what I want really. ;-D, December 15, 2007

By	Adrian the Complex Lonely "Spreading love and... (USA) - See all my reviews

Fergie is an Aries. Me, a Taurus. I like her lively, fun and free-spirit, and her lyrics are super-funny, if not mindless...

"Every time I get up on a Dude/Poparazzi put my business in the news/Get up out my face/Before I spray Your a__ with mace/My looks make You wanna have a taste/"

Fergalicious - Upbeat, and the production is so addictive. Almost as bad as crack, I *assume*, thank You. 4.25/5

Clumsy - Fun beat, decent if not relate-able lyrics. 5/5

All That I Got (The Make Up Song) - Love the slowed-down, R&B vibe. Totally unexpected from Fergie, which isn't good, but great! 5.25/5

London Bridge - Lovely cause it's fun, it's sassy and definitely demands your attention. Decent pop ditty. 4.25/5

Pedestal - OK beat. Unnecessary as a whole. 2.5/5

Voodoo Doll - Much better than Pedestal. MUCH better. Hot beat, very, very jazzy; smooth. Great vocals. Love Fergie. Now only if she's pen a song or four... 5/5

Glamorous - Lovely anthem about being an anti-celeb, of sorts. 4.5/5
Here I Come - Really cute. 5/5

Velvet - Crazy-dreamy beat, and vocals that just melt your soul. Seriously, We may JUST have to watch out for this Chick. If She starts to write, then She will be more than an Entertainer - An Artist, She will be! 5.5/5

Big Girls Don't Cry - Nice, modern-time ballad. 4.25/5

Mary Jane Shoes - Samples "No Woman, No Cry" and many People will hate it for that reason! But I like it. The lyrics are far from deep, and speak on nice, Mary Jane Shoes. My aunt who is also an Aries, is the same - Super-crazy bout shoes! haha. Decent song. The rock anthem part is wicked. I love it. Pop-Rock at its funnest! 4.4/5

Losing My Ground - A ballad(?) about being so lost, you can't even figure out who that damn person is, staring at you in that bloody mirror. This was probably when Fergie was strung out on LSD...:-( 4/5

Finally - Nice ballad about finding oneself, FINALLY. After all of the strife, pain and hard times, she's finally HER. To say that I can relate to this is a heavy understatement. Then it has a bluesy feel, towards the end, for the outro. Love it. Makes you wanna be with your lover! :X 5.25/5

5.18 stars.

I seriously never dreamed that I'd rate a FERGIE album a near 5. Who knew that they'd lace Her with an album this...smooth?! It's really scary how GOOD this CD is. But please, if You do anything, DON'T categorize this as Hip-Hop/Rap. That's a BIG misconception.
It's not really R&B either, although some songs will pull You in, tricking You into thinking so. This is POP music. Pure and simple. Bye, now. And buy this album after You read this. Even if it's used. So what? Just get it!!!

Overall: A+
